Summary
When monstrous entities called Deviants infest the Earth in 5000 BC Mesopotamia, an ancient race of beings known as Celestials, led by the mighty Arishem, fashion humanity's superpowered protectors, the Eternals. For more than 7,000 years, this band of near-immortal saviours live among us, in plain sight but unseen. They are instructed not to interfere in human conflicts unless Deviants are involved, and watch with dismay as humans resolve differences with bloodshed. Sci-fi adventure from Marvel Studios, starring Gemma Chan, Richard Madden, Angelina Jolie and Salma Hayek

Review
A star rating of 4 out of 5.
Hanna Flint
Director Chloé Zhao brings a sense of epic poetry to the Marvel Cinematic Universe with this soulful instalment that introduces a roster of new heroes. The powerful "Eternals" are a secret race of immortal beings who have lived on Earth for 7,000 years, making only scarce interventions in human affairs. As the film opens, eight months after the events of Avengers: Endgame, the planet is once again facing imminent devastation courtesy of a major cosmic event, prompting our heroes to reunite to save humanity. The usual spectacular set pieces balance nicely against Zhao's more naturalistic, intimate storytelling approach, which draws out the tragic and existential themes inherent to these godlike characters. This is not without Marvel's trademark wit - delivered mostly through Kumail Nanjiani's Kingo - or action, with Angelina Jolie bringing the fighting thrills as warrior Thena. But, on the whole, the film succeeds in becoming the series' most emotional outing.
